    I probably would, as long as the frame is OK.

    New Ultegra and new wheels for less than a grand is nice.

    There's no carbon in the Ultegra and the wheels are Askim, Azkerim (something like that - they are the same make as I have on a Scott hybrid but I never committed them to memory). They have Michelin krylion fitted (new).

    Thanks for the replies. A good bi to chew on. Still a bit iffy on the colour. And the shop Pasquini doesn't stock Shimano double face pedals.

    Anyway to put things in context on the way home between Camucia and Castiglione del Lago I witnessed a fatal head on collision between a car and truck carrying plastic water tanks. Awful stuff.
